On this day in 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing a new item on their menu: the Left-Handed Whopper, especially designed for 32 million left-handed Americans. The new burger was made exactly like the original Whopper except the condiments were rotated 180 degrees. Thousands of customers went into BK restaurants to request the new sandwich while many other right-minded patrons insisted on the more traditional Whopper.
